Will you become the greatest wizard of the Annual Grand Rite? To do so, you will need to collect and manage your Materia to feed your familiar and learn your spells. It will all be a matter of timing: Act quickly to use your powers sooner... or wait to unleash them at full power. Your path to victory is full of tactical and combinatorial choices.
In SpellBook, each player/wizard, accompanied by a familiar (a magical creature that assists you in your task), has a grimoire and collects Materia (elements) to master spells. The game offers predefined spell sets to use in the first turns, but soon players will be able to combine elements and test random spells to develop their power. Each spell combination provides an effect that lasts for the rest of the game, and the more ingenious the combination, the more powerful the effect. As the turns progress, the game becomes a different experience each time, with over 2,100 possible spell combinations.
The card game SpellBook ends as soon as a wizard's grimoire is complete or a familiar is fully fed, then the player with the most points wins.
SpellBook includes a solo mode that accurately reflects the multiplayer experience, offering a high level of challenge and an excellent way to learn the game's rules.
